Hey guys, a noob here and have never had this experience before. I have a prospect lined up next week and I have too many questions on do's and don'ts. What do I carry with me, how do I exchange donations, who carries the helmet. Is there any thread/running list on the forum which helps newbies with a smooth onboarding?
What do I carry with me?
Other than the donation nothing else is expected.
How do I exchange donations?
Cash, in an unsealed envelope. I always place it on the night stand and politely mention it before jumpin in the shower.
Who carries the helmet?
She does, I always have one on me regardless of an SP appointment or not.
Is there a thread/running list on the forum which helps newbies with a smooth onboarding?
Here is a thread I put together to help new hobbyists on guidelines to follow to have great experiences. It hasn't let me down in the time I've been hobbying. Haven't been scammed or B & S'd on and for the very high majority I have great experiences.

I suggest booking SP's on what you are physically attracted to, never settle for less. I also highly suggest staying away from classifieds like Leolist, as you have to search hundreds if not thousands just to find a handfull of good providers. Find the SP you are looking for here whether from an agency or an indy, and check the reviews before booking.
Always remember that there is no direct correlation between a higher rate an SP charges and the quality of service or the quality in looks.
